#Heuchera

I almost forgot, trusty old Heuchera ‘Stainless Steel’ is blooming now too. And hanging out in the background is yellow corydalis.

Plant of the Day

Saturday 13 July 2024

The plant lighting up this container display in a shaded walkway in Stromness, Orkney, was probably the cultivar Heuchera 'Limeberry’ (alum root). The leaves forms a mound of bright green-yellow and the plant thrives in a container with adequate nutrition and regular watering.

March 2024: More Spring Stuff & Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Join me human:

As I watch the sun set:

We did some planting & transplanting this week:

Including some store-bought ginger that we're propagating. If all goes according to plan, we should have 5 to 6 ginger plants:

First bee butt of 2024:

My queen is drying dandelion leaves. You're supposed to be able to make a concoction with them that is beneficial in the garden. We'll see. If the results are noticeably beneficial, I'll post a follow up later in the year:

I can't believe the size of the leaves of this cilantro. You can't buy this in the grocery store:

This is the second day after planting these sweet potato slips & they are already perked up & happy:

Our 3 year old Red Russian Kale after harvesting this week:

We went to a local hardware store to see about getting some repairs done to our mini tiller. Turns out the repair department is closed on Sundays so this happened instead:

For Saint Patrick's Day, it was a nice warm Spring day but the temperature starting dropping as we're expecting an overnight low in the mid-30s Fahrenheit. Perfect fire pit weather:

HEUCHERA

This week's Rhombus House Garden post is a simple PSA to let you know that I fucking love Heuchera (aka Coralbells).

They're shade tolerant, perennial and hardy in zone 4, divisible every 2-3 years so that then you have twice as many heucheras. They're native from Ontario to Georgia and Nebraska to Louisiana.

They are the "oops all berries!" of garden plants with leaves as bright and colorful as the flowers of other plants.

Check this out.

Simulate an autumnal forest floor from spring through frost.



Or, go goth!

Get FANCY with variegation and coloring!

Celebrate your love for Color Theory!

You can even do pastels if that's your jam.

Anyways, please appreciate Heucheras. This barely scratches the surface of their beauty and variety!

First batch of Heuchera are ready in the greenhouse.

Heuchera like dappled or semi shade.

These have been greenhouse grown, thus will need protection until the risk of frost is over.

We’re here to help with garden and planting advise, why not pop in and ask.

We are open seven days a week 10am – 4pm

The lime green and hot pink themed section is the only bit of the garden that's working out more or less as planned.

Zosan Lokius, my sage plant, unfortunately passed away this winter. i cried a lot and had a funeral for him with my partner.

i knew i wanted another plant this season, but i didn’t know which. it’s been hard to pick as ive grieved. then, i started working in a plant nursery and found this beauty!! an autumn tree-looking perineal?? sign me up!

so, without further ado, i introduce X-5 D. Saul 😂🍁 my sage plant had a combined One Piece/Loki TV show name, so i wanted to give my new plant the same kind of name. those shows are special interests of mine.

i only know the bare minimum to care for my plant, which is how i’ve found my gardening journey to be so far. i’ve learned a lot as i went by simply tuning into my plant’s needs.

as a devout Pagan, plants are sacred to me. i’m very glad i had a chance to welcome him in my home. 😃

ps. i took him out for the photos, but i have a grow light in my room since i’m an indoor gardener!

Plant of the Day

Thursday 20 October 2022

In my friend’s garden Heuchera villosa 'Palace Purple' (alum root) is still producing small pale pink flowers above the smart mounds of metallic bronze-purple leaves. This is a great ground-cover plant especially for the front of a border.
